Yes that is the one I was thinking of getting, but I’m also thinking of getting a cross country up to Bristol tm then a gwr train from there to Swindon so I’m there earlier have a meal and chill out

No I won’t be wearing uniform, it says to put on business attire if we have no uniform yet so I’m just gonna wear trousers, shoes and shirt then get changed when I get back home sort my case out and make my way

Travelling from Newton abbot, the only Gwr train travelling up in the afternoon/evening is 21:00 I think all the rest are cross country

Hi, I’m on the same course too with local induction at Exeter then off to swindon ready for Tuesday. I’m gonna drive to Exeter then drop all the uniform home then make my way to Swindon. I don’t think you need to book your tickets you can just get on, I’ve noticed there’s no Gwr trains to...

Ok thanks mate.

I’ve received my photcard and weekend first pass today, a week after my contract. What are these passes for? It states in the letter I’ve got my ATOC cards coming shortly.

Ok cool. Thank you mate

Does anyone know when you receive your first pay packet when you start your training? Is it a month in hand?

Oh nice one. Good luck. Hopefully they dish out some more formal offers once we are done there on Monday. I can hand my notice in then

Thank you mate. The verbal start date they gave me was the 6th of jan, hopefully it ain’t changed.

Ok cool. I’m Exeter st David’s to. My medical is on Monday.

What depot is this for? And when did you have your medical?

Thanks stigy. I got medical in Plymouth on the 21st and if all goes well il start the course in January. I can imagine it being challenging with lots of revision to be done

How difficult is the training?

Hope everyone hears soon. I’m trying to get a rough idea how long it is till they let you know as I want to hand my notice in on my current role and have a month or 2 off till starting in January if everything goes well
